Donald Trump crushes Rubio out of Republican race

One of the U.S. Republican runner Marco Rubio has been driven out the contest. Rubio’s tough rival, Donald Trump swept three states and in the crucial state of Ohio, which wrought more chaos for a party deeply fractured by his candidacy and as a result drove Rubio out of the White House race.

While the Republican race remained in turmoil on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton’s victories in Florida, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina cast doubt on U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’s ability to overtake her for the Democratic Party’s nomination.

With up to the 1,237 delegates Trump needs to win the nomination and left those in the party trying to stop him with a dilemma. If you recall Trump won in Florida, Illinois and North Carolina.

The U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who has sought to fashion himself the lead anti-Trump alternative, was outclassed by Trump everywhere on Tuesday except Missouri, where he trailed Trump narrowly with nearly all votes counted.

Early on Wednesday, MSNBC projected Trump and Clinton would win Missouri in very tight races.

Many party leaders are appalled at the billionaire Trump’s incendiary rhetoric and believe his policy positions are out of step with core Republican sentiment.

This include his vow to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, temporarily ban Muslims from the United States, build a wall along the border with Mexico and impose protectionist trade policies.

However, their bid to stop him has come too late as a Republican field that once included Trump and 16 high-profile party figures has dwindled now to only three with Trump, 69, in command ahead of Cruz, 45, and Kasich, 63.
